We have the SEC channel, but they have to have too many talks shows instead of broadcasting actual sports like track, rowing, tennis, golf, volleyball, etc. The SEC office should get ESPN to do more broadcasting of the non-revenue sports.

The SEC does not want that to happen until Bama gets better in non rev sports….

The Lady Vols sent notice to the nation that there is a new force in the rowing world by finishing second to the long time dominant Texas Lady Longhorns in every event. The average winning margin was around five seconds. So as the Longhorns haul their ninth straight Big 12 Championship trophy back to Austin, I bet they're looking back over their shoulders and wondering about next year.

Well done Lady Vols, well done!

Yes!! Great row today!

Man, Texas is no joke to sweep the competition like that. I noticed Tennessee held their own against them in some races, finishing pretty closely behind them. In others, Texas dominated.

Congrats to the Lady Vols!

I wonder what it will take for the good girls to come out in top in some events.

#3 Tennessee Starts Strong on Day One of NCAA Championships - University of Tennessee Athletics

The third-ranked Tennessee rowing team commenced the NCAA Championships Friday morning with three heat races at East Fork/Harsha Lake in Bethel, Ohio.

I have often thought (perhaps incorrectly) that Tennessee was not serious about rowing. It was a sport that required a lot of participants to be competitive, thus we could meet our title IX requirement in a sport difficult to watch and cheer. With limited fan engagement it seemed no one really cared.

Our new head coach has quickly flip my jaundiced narrative and has us running with the big dogs...where we should be. I could not be more proud!

I tried rowing. Once. That's all it took to know it wasn't the sport for me. I loved it for the first few minutes, feeling the power and speed as I was in a boat with experienced rowers. But then I very soon began to feel the intense burn. Nope. That kind of pain isn't for me! lol

That experience was neat, though, and certainly made me appreciate the strength and stamina of the amazing athletes who excel in row.

Great day for the Lady Vols!

@DeerPark12 Will there be an announcement about the SEC adding rowing soon, now that Texas and Oklahoma are official members?

SEC Bylaws say at least 1/4 of the conference schools have to sponsor a sport for it to be an SEC sport. NCAA rules require at least six schools for a conference to receive an automatic bid (that might actually be eight now, not 100% on that one).

No idea what's going to happen there, because the Big 12 had previously said they weren't going to let OU and Texas stay in rowing only, which would also boot Tennessee and Alabama. But that also puts the Big 12 at only four rowing schools. The SEC bylaws also don't allow affiliate members, so the SEC couldn't bring in Big 12 schools or other unaffiliated schools. Since we haven't heard anything, I assume they've negotiated something to stay in the Big 12, but I don't know.
